Before first use, ensure all components are clean and dry. The grinder comes pre-assembled, but you may need to adjust the grind setting.

- Remove the grounds container by unscrewing it from the main body.
- Locate the grind adjustment dial at the bottom of the burr assembly.
- Rotate the dial clockwise for finer powder and anti-clockwise for coarser powder. Each 'click' represents a specific grind level.

- Caffè espresso: Approximately 7-10 clicks from the tightest setting.
- Rovesciare: Approximately 13-16 clicks from the tightest setting.
- Stampa francese: Up to 13 clicks from the tightest setting.
- Once adjusted, reattach the grounds container securely.
